Huma Abedin

The top paid employee on Hillary Clinton's campaign is Huma Abedin. According to Federal Election Commission disclosures released this week, Abedin was paid $69,263.09 in the first quarter of the campaign.

Should Abedin continue to receive disbursements of the same amount, she'll be set to receive $277,052.36 per year.

By contrast, the chairman of the Clinton campaign, John Podesta, received only $3,586.00.

Robby Mook, the campaign manager, made $27,625.80.

Jennifer Palmieri, the communications director, pulled in a tidy $31,710.91.

The Clinton campaign has continuously insisted it is cheap. The FEC disclosure report suggests otherwise.

Abedin has worked for Clinton for the last two decades. She's currently vice chair of Hillary for America, the Clinton campaign.

Politico has reported that this campaign Abedin is "overseeing the campaign operation and serving more often as an independent surrogate for her boss." She's even taking meetings in place of her boss.

Abedin is married to former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, who resigned his position a few years ago.

Anthony Weiner, the husband of Hillary Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin, is suggesting that Bernie Sanders run as an independent. Sanders, of course, is currently challenging Clinton for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 presidential race.

Senator Chuck Grassley has sent two letters to the State Department to ask about Huma Abedin's special government status when she was a government employee--and for information on Abedin's email use while working for the government. Abedin is a close aide to Hillary Clinton, and worked for the consulting firm Teneo (under a special government employee status) while working for Clinton.

Stephen F. Hayes reported on Fox News that Hillary Clinton's top two aides, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, used personal emails while working for the secretary of state at the State Department:

"Two of Hillary Clinton's top aides used personal email while they were employed at the State Department, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. Hillary Clinton's chief of staff. The State Department has evidence of this.

You'd think the editors of elegant women's fashion magazines would learn. But they seem unable to profit from experience, much like Huma Abedin, wife of Anthony Weiner, about whom we all know a lot more than we would like, while Abedin, herself, seems to know and have learned ... nothing.
